I have a deep ache inside of me to be loved and understood.

I wish I could numb myself with drugs. I never used to feel much of anything, when I was in that place. Now it's different. I've been sober for a few months and all these emotions are coming out. I don't know how to deal with them, but they make me want to weep. Even small things bring me close to tears, I'm not sure what to do about it.
